PGWP + SOWP

Applied 13 Jan
Updated 4 June
Approved 5 June

Inland, NS (no email being sent by IRCC)

PGWP pay slip was attached as a part-time teacher!

Had to be 3 years but because of my passport expiry date, I got 5 months less!

Congrats! Was your spouse in Canada when you applied?

How do you request GCMS notes? Is there a link for that? Thank you!

I would suggest you google it, I found instructions from a user in this forum. It is not difficult process really.

Hi everyone,
I just have another question. My wife applied for PGWP on March 27th. Based on this processing time which is 144 days, her application wont be approved until Aug. 11th and her study permit will be expired on Aug. 11th. She is working full-time job. Does she need to apply for extension of study permit if she wants to continue working?

She can keep working until a decision is made on her application. - An automatic letter WP-EXT was probably issued on her online account when she applied just login and download that letter, she can show her employer that she's authorized to work full-time until the decision is made using that letter. She does not have to renew her study permit while waiting for her PGWP decision.

Can I work while I am waiting to receive my post-graduation work permit?
You can work full-time while waiting for a decision on your post-graduation work permit application if, at the time you submitted your application, you:

• had a valid study permit,
• had completed your program of study,
• were eligible to work off-campus without a permit, and
• did not work off-campus more than 20 hours a week during academic sessions.
